president obama, 330 electorate votes. they're still counting the popular vote. >> yeah, i think -- i mean, from the beginning, it's struck me as this isn't just the re-election of a president, this is the rebuffing, if that's the right word, of the republicans. look, i think there are many lessons to be learned over this election. there was a not ideal candidate. it was not an ideal campaign, et cetera. but yes, america, in america, something is always being borne. it's always changing. dem graphically it's changing. at the end of the day, elections are actually about ideas, they're about the stands that each party takes. republicans do have to sit down and say, what are we doing and as important, how are we doing it? >> we have seen the reemergence of mitt romney this week. a smiling mitt romney. i want to show it out there with his family. ruth, both peggy and matt talking about the kind of rethinking the republicans will have to go through, but there has been a temptation with losing party, to pile on the candidate and

obama won his renewed term. look, the arithmetic is simple. if you cap at $25,000 the available deductions, you raise $1.2 trillion. a lot of money. if you cap at 50,000, you raise about as much upon as you would letting the bush tax rates expire. i don't think that's a problem. you showed the clip of patty murray saying as a negotiating ploy go off the cliff. let me give you another theory. for 40 years the democratic party's activist base has had two goals, substantial tax increases and substantial tax or defense cuts. going off the cliff implements the democratic party's agenda. >> well, do you think it would be so bad to go off the cliff? >> i think it would be mildly chaotic. >> just mildly? >> this is a gigantic country. this country can absorb lots of mistakes. we test that theory regularly in our history. i don't think you should negotiate out of fear. i don't think you should have people say, oh, we have a gun at your head. the american people are faced with a flawed system. i agree with george will. the fact is that we're two mandate

he said this really comes down to speaker boehner and president obama. so what do you see your role? >> well, we have to have a vote in order for something to pass. i think speaker boehner and mitch mcconnell and senator reid and i would all agree that we have to have something that will pass both houses that the president will sign and so, you know, really what is important is getting the job done. >> well, let's talk about the details, the focus does seem to be on the revenue side of this. your side is insisting on tax rate increases. but have you seen any indication that the republicans are opening to raising rates? >> well, they have said that they know that revenue has to be on the table, and that is why i have said when we talk about reven revenue, what are we talking about? are we talking about closing loopholes, raising rates or both and they're talking about entitlements restructuring. what does that mean? if that means harming beneficiaries i don't think that that's such a good idea. >> could you accept a deal that does not include tax rate inc
